Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is still deflecting from the issue I'm talking about. Everyone keeps bringing up what the DNC should have done differently, and you can make a long list of those things, but that is not my point.
My point is, people had a choice, regardless of how they felt about the choices, they could choose Trump or Harris. A large portion of people didn't pick either one. Those people accepted that they were ok with either choice, because if they weren't, they would have prevented the outcome they thought was worse. That is my point. People could have impacted the outcome and chose not to. If they don't like how things are going now, good. They need to remember this next time and realize that voting for the least shitty of the two will at least prevent the worst case scenario. Taking a stance and not voting to send a message doesn't really do shit when the guy you let in office wants to remove term limits and get rid of checks and balances while ignoring the constitution. But hey, I guess at least they feel good about not voting for anything remotely bad as the world burns.
Your point is to ignore that and blame the voters. Sure, why not. Let's concede your point. Great. Voters are at fault and the party has no responsibility to represent them, just to make a token effort to look like they care about being second worst to fascists once in a while.
The last three election cycles, we have run centrists against a reprehensible fascist. Two lost. One won, but it was a squeaker. democrats keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. Do you suppose the electorate is going to change? Do you suppose republicans are gonna come around?
Can you like, just not read? I said people should be represented.
I never once said this. This is just you propping up this argument to avoid addressing any points I made. I said people who didn't vote did not take their opportunity to prevent this. That's just reality and facts my guy. If those upset you, I dunno what to say, you can try alternative facts, I hear republicans love those.
I dunno, but what I do know is you're not capable of having a conversation about those things. Why would I? You would just tell me how I feel and then insult me about it lol. You're not interested in a convo, you just want to mindlessly yell at someone without having to consider a new viewpoint at all. Just insult someone who disagrees, you sound like a republican for sure. And unable to address the actual topic, seems very republican too. Making up stuff I didn't say and using that in your argument, that seems very republican in nature. You must love where we're at huh? Everyone is acting like you.
Listen, you're too emotional and caught up in yourself to have an actual conversation. You can't help but make wild assumptions, put words in my mouth, and run away with concepts I don't even agree with. You are part of the problem with the system. You ignore reality and just yell how you feel a lot, yell about how the ideal world should be, without being grounded in reality at all or even being willing to discuss it. You look at the world like a child, and argue like one too. Unable to address actual points, so you just make up stuff and rant about it. You don't need me for that; you seem more than capable of arguing with yourself.
Who has to change? The party or the voters? I think you'll find that the voters won't. The party must.
Ok
